Over the last few days and months, a slew of United States corporations, including Amazon, McDonald’s, Walmart, Ford, John Deere and Meta (the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp), have announced the end of their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes. They will be scaling back initiatives aimed at promoting fair treatment and “full” participation of their staff, especially those from minority groups (ie gender, racialised, LGBTQ, Indigenous, and disability groups).
Adopted over the last decade-and-a-half, and heightened in the wake of protests across the US following the police brutalisation and killing of George Floyd in 2020, these corporate initiatives have involved integrating DEI in hiring practices and supplier selection, most often through “unconscious bias” training of employees.
